I don’t know about the feminine part. Most Igbo women i have ever met are very masculine in their attitudes and energy. Most Nigerian women from the south and central regions are, except the Northern Nigerian Muslim ones.
that because traditionaly King / subjects relationship is not what the Igbos are used to; they are more used to Deity/people relationship. There is deity and their priest, and the elders and kinsmen. Thus truth (ofor) means more to the people than anything. They will always speak up and speak out Unfortunately this works adversely in a political world which prefers more diplomatic correctness

Even till today. Igbo societies are structured with women having equal say in socio economic matters.

It's the political structure that has been over westernized that has left women of today marginalized from participating effectively in politics. But in Igboland, women still have higher representation in politics than in other regions in Nigeria.

One cannot understand Igbo culture without understanding the Osu caste system & the treatment of twins/multiple births, & other “defected” infants within Igbo religion as it relates to dualities, fear & Ala Alusi. Chimamanda Ngozi isn’t perfect, but she is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to her Igbo heritage. If Igbo women traditionally had to combat native misogyny, it would make sense they wouldn’t tolerate foreign misogyny systems either. Very beautiful & strong women. Edit: I forgot to mention that the old traditional religion of the Igbo was called Odinani. Also in my research, most indigenous African religions adored multiple-births & twins. Giving the mothers high status, sometimes whether the infants &/or mother survived or not. With that being said, the Igbo religion is still very fascinating & valuable as philosophical study, & allegorical in-site. The CZcams channel the Medicine Shell does a fantastic job of deep diving into the mythology, laws, & beliefs of Odinani. Almost all Igbos are to Christian today, as a result of Odinani’s less-than-stellar application. Some Igbos have converted to denominations of Ifa (worship of Olodumare & the Orishas). Btw.

I just hope you are not a Yoruba! petty envy. Fabricators and confusionists. Next time, before you make a definite conclusion on a culture make sure you read multiple sources. The truth is always hidden between the line.
@@okekechidi3377 I'm not Yoruba. And man, I don't mind being corrected, but many sources including the Medicine Shell (Igbo youtuber) & Igbo Landing (incident within the Americas related to the Osu caste system) point to this. With that being said no ethnic-group in the world is perfect, religion of our ancestors/or the era before modern-science is a-role-of-dice! Allot of the fears of the Igbo remind me of the Japanese mabiki. And that is without mentioning the amazing parables, philosophy, & fables found within Odinani. And the amazing Igbo artistic technology & architecture. Here is a older article, I did about twins/multiple births in various African societies:www.reddit.com/r/AfricanHistory/comments/mz2x32/some_of_my_research_so_far_on_which_african/ It should be said that for some of the groups like the Zulu, twin infanticide seemed to be more of a superstition, thus not a practice among all Zulu clans. And all of the birth complications with multiple births, may have been the reason some societies in the world viewed them as witch-craft or humanly-unnatural. Most Africans seemed to have seen (or eventually see) multiple-births & their mothers as blessings from god.
The Black Woman should be worshipped for the things she’s done since the beginning of time but we’ve been so Westernized that we think She should bow to us not knowing she’s the Backbone, Lungs, And Heart Of Our Communities and Always Have Been✊🏾💯👑
My African ancestry is now over 400 removed from our homeland but I am African not because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me. I think that we, as people of African descent, might want to rethink what it means to be feminine and masculine. We can't let others define those attributes whether in a communal, physical, spiritual or intellectual context. We can no longer allow others to dictate how we as men and women should live in this world and how we interact with eachother.
Nope, owner of every lands in this earth it's Ala the mother earth, owner both this earth and other planets it's Chineke~God and he is he not she don't confuse yourself in this earth good day.
Fun fact: Igbos are actually related to some tribes in East Africa especially in Kenya, Uganda, ie the Turkana, Iteso, Jie, Kumam, Toposa, Karamojong, Lango etc. These tribes belong to the same group known as the Ateker. Igbos share similar names and words with these tribes.
Sources? Not that I doubt you tho cos I know we are the children of Y’srael descendants of Gad and have our relatives in other parts of west n east Africa.
I have literally never seen this proposed before. I don’t doubt it (I have no intellectual basis on which to do so) I am simply saying I’ve never before this moment seen or heard any African make a link between Nilotic East Africans and West Africans such as the Igbo
People have a misconception of patriarchy, it does not necessarily imply a heavy handed male rule. It really means strong men that protect, provide and guide families, communities and nations. Women were welcomed into the patriarchal Igbo society, this is similar to ancient Egypt. Masculine and feminine are to complement each other not compete or dominate the other.
Home team history, I love watching your vids. Thank you for the immense work you do. I am an Igbo man. Most Pre-colonial Igbo societies did not have kings, we were mostly governed by a council of first born sons "Umu Nna." Regardless of the age, all first born males of any family within that village is an automatic member. That son represents and presents his family concerns (if any) at that council were, if need be, the concerns will ve debated upon and then put to vote. The council is led by the oldest living first born son. His vote equals to 1, he holds no power over the council, he only organizes proceedings, and is accorded respect per his age. The Women had their council called "Umu Ada" Some persons are bestowed titles to carry out ceremonial rites. The Nze 'n Ozo are recognized for their immense contribution to society - they hold no power over the people. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Daalu rin'ne! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much! Gotta look at this again. The mask at the beginning with the marks on the face, I've seen people with similar markings on their faces. Does that mean you are from a certain area or region?
@HomeTeam History...Correction, That is a PICTURE of an Akan Woman in Ghana West Africa. The Ibo/Igbo Women Have Their Own Traditional Wear. Keep it up Bro, Cheers.
Igbo people are invetors of "democracy". Unlike other civilizations, Igbos believe in individual freedom, moderated by a community commitment. Igbo people do not have "Kings" in the real sense. The equivalence of "King" called "Eze" is not a real king in the Western sense. The "Eze" actually means "master". One who has a mastery in something; Eze-ji, master in growing of ji (yam), Ezeani master in spiritual worship of the earth goddess. The Eze as a clan leader, must lead in consultation with his council. The council is made up of the eldest surviving male of each "Umunna", a clan based on lineage. You can't just get up and give matching orders to Igbo people, no matter who you are.
@@NYChiphop67 Maybe because you said that in the comment section of this video hence it can be assumed it was a comment related to that video. How are African Americans united with Africa through "Kemet"
The Igbos never killed anyone twins The ibibios and the efiks are the neighbors of Igbos, they were included as Igbos by white people including Mary slessor . Igbos treat twins special as the gift from the almighty God Chukwu okike abiama. The igbo are the real democrats which they called Oha-kara-si
@@jaxthewolf4572 Mary slessor never abolished never came to IGBO land to abolish the killing of twins because it never happened in IGBO land. Read up on her and you will find out. That practise was done by some Ibibio and Efik clans. These were the places slessor spent most of the remainder of her years. One of the things she is remembered for in these areas is the campaign for the abolishment of twins.
I love how this history line is detailed. Pre-colonial Igbo land; women have political powers that makes the political organisations a dual gender organisation. Igbo women fighting for their rights to be companions and partners of men in their society because of colonial powers. Interesting, don't we all agree?. That before white man and woman arrived, Igbo women are as valuable and respectable members of the society as Igbo men. It is because of colonial dominance of forcing women into their place behind men, Igbo women now fights for their rights. Doesn't this completely contradicts westernization? That it is white woman who is the forerunner and leader of womanity? It is white woman who is the working woman, the political woman, the useful woman of society. Yet it is this very backwardness of staying behind white man that white men didn't like about these Igbo women and declared a war to push them back were they belong according to him! This is not just a history surrounding Igbo land; the Yorubas, Hausas and the rest of the continent alike all had the same form of societes structures. Women played a very important role in their societies. They were not frequently Queens over their regional lands, but they had powers that men could not even crosspass in many cases. But do we have the right to know this? No, no right to know, because everything is the white woman and her stolen womanity of fakeness. Fake womanity indeed, because this white woman wants to demonstrate herself as the labelled collective "black woman", yet she needs white men in all her affairs for anything to be achieved or completed. While the womanity she wants the credits of without the character or works of, aka black woman's womanity, independently proved her womanity!

Igbo/Lemba are openly claiming to be the original Hebrew Israelites ✔️ Duke University and London University, 2 completely different Universities from 2 different countries did a D.N.A. study on the Lemba/Igbo tribe in South Africa traced the Y chromosome back to ancient Israel. The Y chromosome showed up 50% among the Lemba people and only 3% among the general white Jewish population. Lines right up with ✔️Revelation 2:9 and ✔️revelation 3:9 Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. So called African Americans are the real Jews scattered throughout the world.

I just hope you are not a Yoruba! petty envy. Fabricators and confusionists. Next time, before you make a definite conclusion on a culture make sure you read multiple sources. The truth is always hidden between the line.
@@okekechidi3377 I'm not Yoruba. And man, I don't mind being corrected, but many sources including the Medicine Shell (Igbo youtuber) & Igbo Landing (incident within the Americas related to the Osu caste system) point to this. With that being said no ethnic-group in the world is perfect, religion of our ancestors/or the era before modern-science is a-role-of-dice! Allot of the fears of the Igbo remind me of the Japanese mabiki. And that is without mentioning the amazing parables, philosophy, & fables found within Odinani. And the amazing Igbo artistic technology & architecture. Here is a older article, I did about twins/multiple births in various African societies:www.reddit.com/r/AfricanHistory/comments/mz2x32/some_of_my_research_so_far_on_which_african/
It should be said that for some of the groups like the Zulu, twin infanticide seemed to be more of a superstition, thus not a practice among all Zulu clans. And all of the birth complications with multiple births, may have been the reason some societies in the world viewed them as witch-craft or humanly-unnatural. Most Africans seemed to have seen (or eventually see) multiple-births & their mothers as blessings from god.
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for educating us! I loved every and each second of this video! Keep up with your amazing work!
Amazing video! Thank you!
Team History just found you and I am bought. Thank You.
Always worth the watch.
Interesting video , thank you for sharing❤️
Asking for igbo perspective and contributions is soo cool of you.
Great jobs guys.please never stop.God bless you.thank you
great work bro, subbed
The Black Woman should be worshipped for the things she’s done since the beginning of time but we’ve been so Westernized that we think She should bow to us not knowing she’s the Backbone, Lungs, And Heart Of Our Communities and Always Have Been✊🏾💯👑
My African ancestry is now over 400 removed from our homeland but I am African not because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me. I think that we, as people of African descent, might want to rethink what it means to be feminine and masculine. We can't let others define those attributes whether in a communal, physical, spiritual or intellectual context. We can no longer allow others to dictate how we as men and women should live in this world and how we interact with eachother.
Nope, owner of every lands in this earth it's Ala the mother earth, owner both this earth and other planets it's Chineke~God and he is he not she don't confuse yourself in this earth good day.

@@chukwumaolisehemekaouwarre3236 Thank you. I will take a look!
Please keep this info coming
I appreciate this
Much Love ❤️ from an Igbo Brother.
Fun fact: Igbos are actually related to some tribes in East Africa especially in Kenya, Uganda, ie the Turkana, Iteso, Jie, Kumam, Toposa, Karamojong, Lango etc. These tribes belong to the same group known as the Ateker. Igbos share similar names and words with these tribes.
Evidence?
I'm curious as well for links e.g. linguistic, cultural, cosmological etc
Sources? Not that I doubt you tho cos I know we are the children of Y’srael descendants of Gad and have our relatives in other parts of west n east Africa.
I have literally never seen this proposed before. I don’t doubt it (I have no intellectual basis on which to do so) I am simply saying I’ve never before this moment seen or heard any African make a link between Nilotic East Africans and West Africans such as the Igbo
@@agbordaniels the sources are at the end of the video.
People have a misconception of patriarchy, it does not necessarily imply a heavy handed male rule. It really means strong men that protect, provide and guide families, communities and nations. Women were welcomed into the patriarchal Igbo society, this is similar to ancient Egypt. Masculine and feminine are to complement each other not compete or dominate the other.
That's a more Balanced perspective that needs to be taught & never forgotten nor corrupted
Ogu umunwayii means fight of the women
The Goosebumps while watching!
I love this video and this is one of the proofs that shows that we the Igbos created DEMOCRACY not GREECE
Thanks 👍
Home team history,
I love watching your vids. Thank you for the immense work you do.
I am an Igbo man. Most Pre-colonial Igbo societies did not have kings, we were mostly governed by a council of first born sons "Umu Nna." Regardless of the age, all first born males of any family within that village is an automatic member. That son represents and presents his family concerns (if any) at that council were, if need be, the concerns will ve debated upon and then put to vote. The council is led by the oldest living first born son. His vote equals to 1, he holds no power over the council, he only organizes proceedings, and is accorded respect per his age.
The Women had their council called "Umu Ada"
Some persons are bestowed titles to carry out ceremonial rites. The Nze 'n Ozo are recognized for their immense contribution to society - they hold no power over the people.
Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Daalu rin'ne! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much! Gotta look at this again. The mask at the beginning with the marks on the face, I've seen people with similar markings on their faces. Does that mean you are from a certain area or region?

@HomeTeam History...Correction, That is a PICTURE of an Akan Woman in Ghana West Africa. The Ibo/Igbo Women Have Their Own Traditional Wear. Keep it up Bro, Cheers.
More Power for the West African women! 👍🏿💪🏿👍🏿
Talk about the Ekumeku resistance, I'm reading about it.
Please keep making these.... it's just confirmation

Can you do a story on The Ekumeku resistance.
Beautiful
The way Chimamanda speaks up truth with boldness defines clearly the Igbo woman
Black women are the backbone of the the family/home even in today's societies, whether it's in the motherland, of Africa or else where.
Nope men
He is teaching you modern history history not ancient history.
He is teaching you modern history history not ancient history.
@@chukwumaolisehemekaouwarre3236 that's your opinion
How is Africa now that it has been led by women
That was good
Igbo people are invetors of "democracy". Unlike other civilizations, Igbos believe in individual freedom, moderated by a community commitment.
Igbo people do not have "Kings" in the real sense. The equivalence of "King" called "Eze" is not a real king in the Western sense.
The "Eze" actually means "master". One who has a mastery in something; Eze-ji, master in growing of ji (yam), Ezeani master in spiritual worship of the earth goddess.
The Eze as a clan leader, must lead in consultation with his council. The council is made up of the eldest surviving male of each "Umunna", a clan based on lineage.
You can't just get up and give matching orders to Igbo people, no matter who you are.
Nice video Brother 💪🏿
Strong women are apart of african culture i love
Nice
Yeah they needed more kinds of blockades,alliances, resistance, and kinds of backings
I'll be number three
💯👑👑👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Igbo for a Reason ☝🏿😎
I tell everybody, if Africa is to be united and rule the world, GOD will have to rise up and use a Black woman to do it
Afrakan women & Afrakan girl's must stop following the feminists.
❤️❤️❤️
The woman on the thumbnail is ashanti woman though not igbo. She dressed up as Akan woman

The Igbos never killed anyone twins
The ibibios and the efiks are the neighbors of Igbos, they were included as Igbos by white people including Mary slessor .
Igbos treat twins special as the gift from the almighty God Chukwu okike abiama.
The igbo are the real democrats which they called Oha-kara-si
Than I wonder, where this belief of the killing of twins came from. And the saying that igbo fear twins as some curse
@@jaxthewolf4572 Mary slessor never abolished never came to IGBO land to abolish the killing of twins because it never happened in IGBO land. Read up on her and you will find out. That practise was done by some Ibibio and Efik clans. These were the places slessor spent most of the remainder of her years. One of the things she is remembered for in these areas is the campaign for the abolishment of twins.
I love how this history line is detailed. Pre-colonial Igbo land; women have political powers that makes the political organisations a dual gender organisation. Igbo women fighting for their rights to be companions and partners of men in their society because of colonial powers. Interesting, don't we all agree?. That before white man and woman arrived, Igbo women are as valuable and respectable members of the society as Igbo men. It is because of colonial dominance of forcing women into their place behind men, Igbo women now fights for their rights. Doesn't this completely contradicts westernization? That it is white woman who is the forerunner and leader of womanity? It is white woman who is the working woman, the political woman, the useful woman of society. Yet it is this very backwardness of staying behind white man that white men didn't like about these Igbo women and declared a war to push them back were they belong according to him! This is not just a history surrounding Igbo land; the Yorubas, Hausas and the rest of the continent alike all had the same form of societes structures. Women played a very important role in their societies. They were not frequently Queens over their regional lands, but they had powers that men could not even crosspass in many cases. But do we have the right to know this? No, no right to know, because everything is the white woman and her stolen womanity of fakeness. Fake womanity indeed, because this white woman wants to demonstrate herself as the labelled collective "black woman", yet she needs white men in all her affairs for anything to be achieved or completed. While the womanity she wants the credits of without the character or works of, aka black woman's womanity, independently proved her womanity!
This women was from Aba
❤️❤️
Igbo women are branded unruly and independent of the men. That's too bad.
First to get here
Amma mama, the portal....to this relm..
Cool
Ok 👌🏿
We black people are indigenous to the planet not just Africa 🌍. I long for the day somebody continue to enforce that. The Semang, Orang, Aeti, Jawara and many others.
We are not indigenous to the planet. Especially not in colder regions
@@jaxthewolf4572 dude if there was only black people at one point of time, I quote only black people in all the planet, what color was those people before that gene turned pale. You think dark skinned people didn't play in the snow, well Eskimos do that now.
@bubulu aye you ever seen a pre human? Crazy people are willing to make comments on something they never seen. I ain't never seen a pre-human and never will because they didn't exist. Second of all you said Pre- human meaning something that is not human anyway. Like I said we were the first humans every where, and I will continue to enforce that statement too. We are indigenous to the planet or should I say first Aboriginal man.

Ah so this may answer why I believe in education, working 2 jobs, and travelling by car cross country only fearing God not of Persons on earth.
Igbo/Lemba are openly claiming to be the original Hebrew Israelites ✔️ Duke University and London University, 2 completely different Universities from 2 different countries did a D.N.A. study on the Lemba/Igbo tribe in South Africa traced the Y chromosome back to ancient Israel. The Y chromosome showed up 50% among the Lemba people and only 3% among the general white Jewish population. Lines right up with ✔️Revelation 2:9 and ✔️revelation 3:9 Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. So called African Americans are the real Jews scattered throughout the world.
More African Americans should watch your videos instead of appropriating Native American history as black history...smh...this is the part of history that African-Americans should be proud of, instead of appropriating other people's cultures... good job on reaching out and try to teach lost African Americans about their ancient past in Africa.
The sad part is those who vehemently claim that they are indegenious to the Americas
Ikr they believe Ancient Egyptians were black 🤦🏿♂️ They need to reconnect with us!
My dad is from owerri my mom is from abia state abia means Yah is my father. It was formed in alphabetical order under 4 accent villages that all have Aba in the end of there name which means father in Semitic language
Rule Brittania?🤮
The Igbos are true descendants of the Children of Israel. YAH’s (God’s) direct lineage/children.
It’s been misproven on multiple occasions
@money machine misproven is not a word but I get your point however it's not been debunked & as a matter of facts more proof is starting to come out base on lineage,oral traditions, archeology,anthropology & most certainly Biblical prophecies
@@jsutciph3668You are not Jewish, you will never be Jewish. The Jews themselves say igbos are fakes.
